5.0 out of 5 stars DNA for the Average Person

W.F. · August 3, 2025

This is the first book on DNA that was written for the average person to read without overwhelming them is technical terms that are not well understood by the average person. It is an easy read explaining the complexities of DNA in truly layman's terms and absorb the material. I thought I understood DNA, but realized after reading this book that I had managed to get pieces wrong. The book helped me correct those misunderstandings. If you are going to do genealogy work, this book is an absolute must-have. I wish I had known about it 3 years ago - it would have been a great help and I would not have to go back and recheck my work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing the color images in the version of the copy.

R.D. · December 10, 2024

My local DNA SIG group had the color pages that were missing and needed for the reading. I got the colors and placed them in front of the pages. The description should state that this is a total B and W copy. BAD description in the overview to the purchaser. Buyer be where; of this, as you will need them to understand the concepts.

Great book!
